An Initial and Boundary Value Problem Modeling Fish-like Swimming

چکیده
In this paper we consider an initial and boundary value problem modeling the self-propelled motion of solids in a bi-dimensional viscous incompressible uid. The self-propelling mechanism, consisting in appropriate deformations of the solids, is a simpli ed model for the propulsion mechanism of sh-like swimmers. The governing equations are composed of the Navier-Stokes equations for the uid, coupled to Newton's laws for the solids. Since we consider the case in which the uid-solid systems lls a bounded domain we have to tackle a free boundary value problem. The main theoretical result in the paper asserts the global existence and uniqueness (up to possible contacts) of strong solutions of this problem. The second novelty brought in by this work is that we give a numerical method for the uid-solid system. This method allows the simulation of the simultaneous displacement of several swimmers and it is tested on several examples.

Solutions of initial and boundary value problems via F-contraction mappings in metric-like space
We present sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions of second-order two-point boundary value and fractional order functional differential equation problems in a space where self distance is not necessarily zero. For this, first we introduce a Ciric type generalized F-contraction and F- Suzuki contraction in a metric-like space and give relevance to fixed point results. To illustrate...

This paper considers a non-local initial-boundary value problem containing a first order partial differential equation with variable coefficients. At first, the non-self-adjoint spectral problem is derived. Then its adjoint problem is calculated. After that, for the adjoint problem the associated eigenvalues and the subsequent eigenfunctions are determined. Finally the convergence ...

In this paper, we consider some initial-boundary value problems which contain one-dimensional heat equation in non-classical case. For this problem, we can not use the classical methods such as Fourier, Laplace transformation and Fourier-Birkhoff methods. Because the eigenvalues of their spectral problems are not strictly and they are repeated or we have no eigenvalue. The presentation of the s...

We propose a fuzzy-based approach aiming at finding numerical solutions to some classical problems. We use the technique of F-transform to solve a second-order ordinary differential equation with boundary conditions. We reduce the problem to a system of linear equations and make experiments that demonstrate applicability of the proposed method. We estimate the order of accuracy of the proposed ...
